STUDY OF THE RECENT STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF CONTINENTAL BASINS IN ALTAI-SAYAN (CENTRAL ASIA) goto Boris Dehandschutter's The active deformation in most of Northeast Altai ( ) is far from understood, mainly because of the poor tools geologists have in assessing active structures and determining active faults in basement terranes. Except from the historical earthquake related fault movements and deformation in large Cenozoic basins such as Chuya and Zaisan, the timing of Cenozoic faulting and related deformation remains unknown. The Cenozoic kinematics of the major faults in the region has only been estimated from single-image remote-sensing and large-scale modelling on lithospheric scale, and detailed remote-sensing and field-based data are lacking. The behaviour of the tectonic stress field in highly heterogenous basement terranes and its relation to the active and upper crustal movements are poorly understood. And finally, the perception of the tectonic and geodynamic meaning of the specific wrench-zone related deformation in the area, combining range uplift with extensional basin formation is poor.
